Sterilization Of Mental Defectives, Burke Shartel Nov 1925

Sterilization Of Mental Defectives, Burke Shartel

Michigan Law Review

In 1923 the legislature of Michigan passed an act "to authorize the sterilization of mentally defective persons". This act has recently been sustained in its main provisions by the Michigan supreme court in a case brought to test its constitutionality. Probably the United States Supreme Court will also have an opportunity to pass upon the validity of this law, but the Michigan decision, although not final on the question whether the sterilization of defectives is violative of the "due process clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment, is nevertheless very significant. It is the first instance so far as the writer can …


Negotiable Instruments-Carelessness In Making Checks May 1925

Negotiable Instruments-Carelessness In Making Checks

Michigan Law Review

In a recent case the supreme court of Texas held that the drawer of a check could recover from the drawee bank money paid on a check which had been fraudulently altered in amount by the payee even though the drawer was negligent in drawing the check in such a manner as to facilitate the fraudulent alteration. Glasscock v. First National Bank of San Angelo (Nov. 26, 1924) 266 S. W. 393. The court takes the view, though the decision is not based on it, that sec. 124 of the Negotiable Instruments Law which provides that: "Where a negotiable instrument …

The Equitable Conversion Fiction As A Basis For Inheritance Taxation Apr 1925

The Equitable Conversion Fiction As A Basis For Inheritance Taxation

Michigan Law Review

No one would dispute the jurisdiction of the state where land is situated to impose an inheritance tax upon its transfer at the death of the owner. Callahan v. Woodbridge, 171 Mass. 595, 51 N. E. 176; Matter of Majot, 199 N. Y. 29, 92 N. E. 402, Chamberlain's Estate, 257 Pa. 113,101 Atl. 314. Equally clear is the converse proposition: that no other state except the state where the land lies can impose such a tax. Succession of Westfeldt, 122 La. 836, 48 So. 281; In re Rust's Estate, 213 Mich. 138, 182 N. W. …


Distinction Between Governmental And Proprietary Functions Of Municipal Corporations, Delmar W. Doddridge Feb 1925

Distinction Between Governmental And Proprietary Functions Of Municipal Corporations, Delmar W. Doddridge

Michigan Law Review

There are many places in the law where the making of a distinction has resulted in a difficulty in application that has greatly increased litigation, but there are few places where this is more true than in the distinction made between the governmental and the proprietary functions of municipal corporations. The distinction has taken a firm grip upon the law of municipal corporations and seems well settled, although its propriety as applied to particular subjects may be doubted. The terminology of the distinction is in itself productive of doubt, the function or duty in the one branch being denominated "governmental", …

Tax On Income Received From Foreign Sources Feb 1925

Tax On Income Received From Foreign Sources

Michigan Law Review

In the recently decided case of Cook v. Tait, 44 Sup. Ct. 444, the Supreme Court of the United States decided that the federal government could lawfully tax the income of a citizen of the United States, although the citizen was domiciled in Mexico, and the income came from real and personal property there situated. Suppose instead of the federal income tax, a state tax on incomes had been involved. A Michigan man, say, has among his other sources of revenue, a house and lot in Cleveland which is rented at a price which insures him a comfortable addition …

Constitutional Law-Liberty Of Contract-Regulation Of Loaves Of Bread Nov 1924

Constitutional Law-Liberty Of Contract-Regulation Of Loaves Of Bread

Michigan Law Review

A Nebraska statute aimed at short weights in loaves of bread, forbade the manufacture or sale of loaves weighing either more or less than specified standard amounts. It applied only to quantities of 25 loaves or more and a "tolerance" of two ounces per pound was allowed in excess of the standard weights, to be measured by taking an average of the whole consignment. The prohibition of excess weights was explained by the Nebraska court as an attempt "to prevent a loaf of one standard from being increased in size until it can readily be sold for a larger standard". …

Fair Value Of Public Utilities, Edwin C. Goddard Jun 1924

Fair Value Of Public Utilities, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

Such being the decisions, we turn to the practical working of the theories that have been applied. The law is a practical subject. Even in so sacred a matter as protection of property, rules of law should regard the practical results of any theory. A theory that works badly, presumptively at least, is defective, and may be wrong. The guaranties of the Constitution were made for man, not man for the guaranties, and a conception of property that does not work out for the advantage of man may raise a query whether the Constitution demands that conception. It was that …


Simplified Civil Procedure Under The Wisconsin Code Jun 1924

Simplified Civil Procedure Under The Wisconsin Code

Michigan Law Review

A rare illustration of the possibility of simplified procedure, under the modern codes, is presented by a recent decision of the Wisconsin court. Singularly enough the case was also productive of some very interesting problems of substantive law, and will be commented upon, from that standpoint, elsewhere in this publication. As for the fact situation, it will be sufficient for our present purposes, to note that the plaintiff was injured, while riding as a guest, as the result of a collision occasioned by the negligent driving of her host and the operator of another automobile. The guest and the driver …

Conflict Of Laws-"Full Faith And Credit"-Injunction Restraining Suit In Foreign State Mar 1924

Conflict Of Laws-"Full Faith And Credit"-Injunction Restraining Suit In Foreign State

Michigan Law Review

X, an Iowan, is injured by Y, a fellow citizen, who obtains an injunction in Iowa restraining X from suing in Minnesota. X having subsequently commenced suit in Minnesota, Y files his bill asking the court of that state to enforce the Iowa decree. Should the Minnesota court enforce the foreign injunction decree, as a matter of "comity"? Must it do so, under the "full faith and credit" clause? Strangely enough the Minnesota court has had two of the comparatively small number of cases involving these particular questions. In State ex rel. Bossung v. District Court, 140 Minn. 494, …
